Abstract
Measures are provided for enhancing quality of experience measurement collection reporting. Such measures illustratively include: receiving the QoS report configuration information, generating QoS report resource restriction parameters, forwarding the QoS report configuration information, and deploying the QoS report resource restriction parameters.
Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to quality of experience measurement collection and reporting for streaming and other services. More particularly, the present invention relates to exemplary means (including methods, apparatus and computer program products) for enabling enhanced reporting of quality of experience measurement collection.
Background
Mobile data transmission and data services are continually advancing. Consumer demand for mobile video services is increasing, which is one of the key drivers for the evolution of new wireless multimedia solutions towards providing enhanced quality of experience (QoE). That is, in view of the variety of video streaming applications and interactive video applications such as video conferencing that will be supported, there is a need to optimize a wireless network for delivering a range of video content and video-based applications.
In particular, video communication over mobile broadband networks is challenging due to bandwidth limitations and the difficulty in maintaining the high reliability, quality, and latency requirements imposed by rich multimedia applications. These challenges will be addressed in order to deliver higher user capacity to serve more users and enhanced QoE for a rich set of video applications.
For accurately assessing user QoE, an assessment method and performance metrics are necessary, while corresponding information will be transmitted from communication endpoints near the experience to the network. Quality of experience measurement collection (QMC) and reporting ensures that these QoE related information is obtained.
QoE metrics and QoE reporting configuration parameters and QoE reporting procedures are known to be used for quality estimation.
Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a system environment with signaling variants, and in particular illustrates Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) enhancements for supporting QoE reporting. The main concept of MDT is to collect network quality information using commercial User Equipment (UE), whose measurement capabilities and geographical distribution characteristics, for collecting radio measurements, rather than directly dispatching engineers to the relevant areas and manually obtaining radio measurements.
It is further known that QMC reporting may be triggered in the UE application layer (e.g., dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) client), while the content/format is transparent to the UE access layer (AS) layer. Unlike other MDT measurements, the QoE measurement report trigger mechanism (event and periodic report triggers) is controlled by the DASH client, but is not generated by the Radio Access Network (RAN) entity. According to known methods, in the downlink, a container in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) measurement control message transmits a QoE metric configuration from an evolved node B (eNB) to a UE, and in the uplink, a container in an RRC measurement report message transmits a QoE metric report from the UE to the eNB. The container of QoE metrics configuration will be received from the Core Network (CN) in a signaling-based QMC-initiated manner or from the operation and maintenance (O & M) in a management-based QMC-initiated manner.
It is further known to use Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) to transmit QoE metric reporting data and/or QoE metric configurations, instead of using the above-mentioned containers.
Thus, the content/format of QoE metrics and QoE reporting configuration parameters is transparent to the RAN network entities (enbs, gnbs, radio Network Controllers (RNCs)). The QoE measurement report trigger mechanism (event and periodic report triggers) is controlled by the DASH client instead of the RAN entity. The RAN network entity is used only as a medium to communicate information to the UE. The RAN entity does not know the frequency and exact data size of the reporting data from the UE application layer.
The coarse reporting data size that can match a single RRC message is 8188 bytes at maximum. The UE application layer may support data compression functionality.
A problem with the known method outlined above is that the unaware RAN entity cannot apply proper control over QMC related transmissions.
However, frequent transmissions in the uplink for such large data may/must occupy a large amount of Uu interface resources (Uu interface: air interface of UE) and then strongly affect other ongoing services and even critical services. This effect is not only related to the different services of the UE itself, but also to the services of different UEs in one cell. In this regard, the UE behavior is not controlled or defined by the radio network side, so that reporting behavior of the UE may be troublesome to the network in the uplink. In addition, the corresponding network entity does not know how to apply the charging policy and cannot distinguish the content of the triggered session.
The above introduced method includes a container for QoE configuration in the RRC message from eNB to UE, and includes a container for QoE reporting in the RRC message from UE to eNB is a fairly simple method.
A more complex approach is to include the QoE configuration and reporting criteria with each QoE metric in RRC messages from the eNB to the UE by the eNB decoding configuration containers received from the Core Network (CN) or from the operations and maintenance (O & M) to produce legacy AS layer measurement reports, and to include the QoE reports in RRC messages from the UE AS to the eNB by the UE AS decoding reporting containers received from the UE application layer/NAS layer to produce legacy AS layer measurement reports.
While the above-mentioned problem of the RAN network failing to suppress the reporting behavior of the UE can be solved with this approach, it is too complex to be implemented in the eNB and UE separately for each QoE metric. That is, in case the eNB can interpret any QoE metrics and set RAN controlled criteria upon receiving relative information from the CN or O & M, the measurement reports are fully controlled in the RAN network entity by using conventional measurement management means.
However, AS mentioned above, this approach is too complex to be implemented in enbs and UEs, AS it requires that the enbs and UE AS interpret the application layer defined data content/format and translate into radio specific measurements and reports. It increases the workload of the eNB and UE AS too much and is not attractive for vendor support.
Thus, there remains a problem that the RAN network entity needs to be able to suppress the reporting behavior of the UE in order to make manageable efforts to bother the network in the uplink.
Thus, there is a need to provide enhancements to quality of experience measurement collection reports.

Detailed Description
The invention is described herein with reference to specific non-limiting examples and examples of what are presently considered to be possible embodiments of the invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is in no way limited to these examples and may be more broadly applied.
It is noted that the following description of the invention and its embodiments refers primarily to specifications that are used as non-limiting examples of certain exemplary network configurations and deployments. That is, the present invention and its embodiments are described primarily with respect to 3GPP specifications that serve as a non-limiting example of certain exemplary network configurations and deployments. As such, the description of the exemplary embodiments presented herein specifically references terms directly related thereto. Such terms are used only in the context of the presented non-limiting examples and naturally do not limit the invention in any way. Rather, any other communication or communication-related system deployment, etc., may be utilized as long as the features described herein are met.
Various embodiments and implementations of the invention and aspects or embodiments thereof are described below using several variations and/or alternatives. It is generally noted that all described variations and/or alternatives may be provided alone or in any possible combination (including also various variations and/or alternative combinations of the individual features) depending on certain needs and constraints.
In general, according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, enhanced measures and mechanisms are provided for (enabling/implementing) quality of experience measurement collection reporting.
In principle, a RAN network entity controlled QMC reporting solution is provided.
That is, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the RAN network entity (eNB, gNB, RNC) may apply a (own) QoE measurement value collection reporting policy in addition to O & M. The node may control QMC reporting with frequency-based and UE-based granularity. The node may detect QME reporting frequencies of the UE. In case the reporting severely affects the uplink capacity of the whole cell or other ongoing services running in some UEs, the RAN network entity may command the UE to stop reporting. UE reporting may be resumed by a command from the RAN network entity or an expired timer.
Further, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the RAN network entity may configure some control parameters to the UE in addition to the O & M initiated configuration. The RAN entity may temporarily override or suspend a portion of the O & M initiated configuration to apply its own policies. The UE may detect QMC reporting frequencies itself and may perform QMC reporting stopping and resuming according to control parameters configured by the RAN network entity. The parameter may correspond to report content (e.g., based on report content or QoE metrics or metric attributes) that maximizes interference.
In case a particular UE has another service to be requested for QMC reporting, the RAN network entity may control QMC reporting of the one particular service of the UE or may control QMC reporting of all services of the UE.

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are explained in more detail with reference to fig. 8 and 9.
Fig. 8 shows a schematic diagram of a signaling sequence according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in particular illustrating exemplary but non-limiting implementation details of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention according to which a RAN network entity may control QMC reporting frequencies.
As shown in fig. 9, in step S801, the O & M transmits a management-based QMC initiation to the eNB. In step S802, the eNB transmits rrcconnectreconfigurations including QMC reconfiguration information to the UE.
In step S803, the UE transmits an RRC message or DRB data including the QMC report to the eNB. In step S804, the eNB performs corresponding QMC reporting data forwarding to the QoE server.
In step S805, the UE transmits another RRC message including a QMC report or DRB data to the eNB. In step S806, the eNB performs corresponding QMC reporting data forwarding to the QoE server.
In step S807, if the eNB detects that the number of reports is higher than X in time Y and the cell load is higher than W1 (Y in step S807), the eNB transmits an RRC message including a suspension command to the UE in step S808. In step S809, based on this, the UE stops QMC reporting.
In step S810, if the eNB detects that the cell load is lower than W2 (Y in step S810), the eNB transmits an RRC message including a resume command to the UE in step S811. In step S812, based on this, the UE restarts QMC reporting.
Accordingly, in step S813, the UE transmits another RRC message including a QMC report or DRB data to the eNB. In step S814, the eNB performs corresponding QMC reporting data forwarding to the QoE server.
According to such exemplary embodiments, QMC reporting may be fully and flexibly controlled by the network, including reporting suspension and resumption.
Fig. 9 shows a schematic diagram of a signaling sequence according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in particular illustrating exemplary but non-limiting implementation details of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention according to which a RAN network entity may configure a UE and the UE may self-control (RAN network based configuration) QMC reporting frequencies.
As shown in fig. 9, in step S901, the O & M transmits a management-based QMC initiation to the eNB. In step S902, the eNB transmits to the UE an RRCConnectReconfiguration including QMC reconfiguration information and including RAN configuration parameters X, Y and Z.
In step S903, the UE transmits an RRC message including a QMC report or DRB data to the eNB. In step S904, the eNB performs a corresponding QMC reporting data forwarding to the QoE server.
In step S905, the UE transmits another RRC message including a QMC report or DRB data to the eNB. In step S906, the eNB performs corresponding QMC reporting data forwarding to the QoE server.
In step S907, if the UE detects that the number of reports is higher than X in time Y, the UE stops QMC reporting and starts timer Z.
In step S908, after expiration of the timer Z, the UE restarts QMC reporting.
Therefore, in step S909, the UE transmits another RRC message including a QMC report or DRB data to the eNB. In step S910, the eNB performs corresponding QMC reporting data forwarding to the QoE server.
Such an exemplary embodiment is simply implemented by the UE and requires less signaling exchanges (than an embodiment according to which the RAN network entity may control the QMC reporting frequency). The present exemplary embodiment provides less control reporting flexibility than the embodiment according to which the RAN network entity can control the QMC reporting frequency, since the overload situation may not change even after the suspension timer Z has expired.
